Review summary

Ship In general is great. I wish we have better waiters and food at dinner. In main dining room.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We had a suite, so it was easier than most. But the staff didn’t know where to put us in line.

Ship experiences

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room attendant was awesome. Our waiters we’re boring. Especially they ignored the kids. took forever to get our dinners

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship very clean and the cleaned it 24/7.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin (2 bedroom suite)was great except the phone didn’t work. Couldn’t order coffee in morning or get in contact with cabin attendant. Our room attendant was there to help anyway he could. Our concierge gave us portable phone on 3rd day of a 5 day cruise.

Ship tip

Do not book turtle, stingray, land and sea. That excursion is terrible. They take you from one crowded gift shop to another. Book the stingrays only or beach it.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
Terrible excursion. Turtle, stingray land and sea. Not what’s described. It’s a hurry up and wait gift shop your. Without anyway of getting food on a 5 hour tour. Kids were starving after 5 hours

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Didn’t do anything except shop. After our last excursion, didn’t wan to waste money on another

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Got off ship early. Very easy
